Reviews
"This vivid and lyrical memoir, a future classic, should have wide appeal as a consummate insider account of Chinese state terror." Publishers Weekly , starred review "Liao's work is an amazing testament to the people who are battling the Chinese police state ."-- Kirkus Reviews "The sheer drama of Liao Yiwu's odyssey-from poet to prisoner Number 099 to one of China's most acclaimed writers-in-exile-is matched only by the journey that brought this book to publication. The memoir of his four years in prison is riveting, painful testimony-a vital new chapter in the story of China's rise ." --Evan Osnos, staff writer at The New Yorker "Courageous and powerful. Unforgettable." --Jung Chang, author of Wild Swans and co-author of Mao: the Unknown Story " For a Song and a Hundred Songs opens our eyes....[it is] a book of tremendous literary force . The author's linguistic prowess renders it disturbingly cold and invitingly warm, angry and charismatic at once ."--Herta Muller, recipient of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature and author of The Hunger Angel "One of the most original and remarkable Chinese writers of our time." -Philip Gourevitch"Reading Liao Yiwu's memoir transported me to his world, in a very visceral way. Liao guides us through harrowing scenes, but the narrative is frequently punctuated by poetic moments when art and truth transcend the horrors." -- Alison Klayman, director of Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, "Liao's work is an amazing testament to the people who are battling the Chinese police state ."-- Kirkus Reviews "The sheer drama of Liao Yiwu's odyssey-from poet to prisoner Number 099 to one of China's most acclaimed writers-in-exile-is matched only by the journey that brought this book to publication.
